    Non_deployable: not fit or intended for deployment.
    Too hard and ungainly to up armour to a (now) suitable level of protection in the current and future battle space.
    In the near future, when the Regiment need to go 'light' it will be Hawkei SOV or dismounted.
    Cheers, BDave.

    Seems a shame none would go to collectors, saying that Dunsfolds might get hold of one

    I suppose the situation is similar to the UK SAS Land Rovers very few are in public hand's ( but at least some are ) So where did all the rest of the SAS V8 110 HCPU go?

    Storage, the scrap man?

    The talk on REMLR said the Bushmaster and the Nary were too heavy for many operations, so some LRPVs were being kept and some were moved to the east coast for Commando units.
